Every year, 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebra and 100,000 gazelle complete a circular journey across the Serengeti and Masai Mara — driven by the rain, the grass and a survival instinct unchanged for two million years. Nothing in the natural world compares.

Every year, 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebra and 100,000 gazelle complete a circular journey across the Serengeti and Masai Mara — driven by the rain, the grass and a survival instinct unchanged for two million years. Nothing in the natural world compares.
The Great Wildebeest Migration is the largest overland animal movement on Earth. The herds — approximately 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebra and gazelle — never stop moving. They follow an ancient pattern governed entirely by rainfall and grass growth across a 3,000km circuit between Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara.
There is no single “migration moment.” It is a year-round phenomenon with distinct highlights in each season. Our month-by-month guide below helps you find the experience that matches your travel dates.
| Month | Location | What to See | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan–Feb | Southern Serengeti (Ndutu Area) | Calving season with up to 8,000 calves born daily. Excellent sightings of cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and other predators. | ★★★★★ |
| March | Southern → Central Serengeti | The migration begins moving north through lush green landscapes with outstanding predator action. | ★★★★☆ |
| Apr–May | Central Serengeti | Long rainy season. The herds spread across the plains, offering beautiful scenery and fewer safari vehicles. | ★★★☆☆ |
| June | Central & Western Serengeti | Large herds gather into impressive columns as they prepare for the famous river crossings. | ★★★★☆ |
| July–Aug | Northern Serengeti & Masai Mara | The dramatic Mara River crossings begin. Witness crocodile encounters and intense predator activity during peak migration season. | ★★★★★ |
| Sep–Oct | Masai Mara, Kenya | Peak migration viewing with millions of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara ecosystem. One of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles. | ★★★★★ |
| November | Masai Mara → Northern Serengeti | Following the short rains, the herds begin their journey back south toward Tanzania. | ★★★☆☆ |
| December | Southern Serengeti | The migration returns to the short-grass plains as the pre-calving season begins. | ★★★★☆ |
